Imported some of the GPLv3'd changes from RhodeCode v2.2.5.

This imports changes between changesets 21af6c4eab3d and 6177597791c2 in
RhodeCode's original repository, including only changes to Python files and HTML.

RhodeCode clearly licensed its changes to these files under GPLv3
in their /LICENSE file, which states the following:
The Python code and integrated HTML are licensed under the GPLv3 license.

(See:
https://code.rhodecode.com/rhodecode/files/v2.2.5/LICENSE
or
http://web.archive.org/web/20140512193334/https://code.rhodecode.com/rhodecode/files/f3b123159901f15426d18e3dc395e8369f70ebe0/LICENSE
for an online copy of that LICENSE file)

Conservancy reviewed these changes and confirmed that they can be licensed as
a whole to the Kallithea project under GPLv3-only.

While some of the contents committed herein are clearly licensed
GPLv3-or-later, on the whole we must assume the are GPLv3-only, since the
statement above from RhodeCode indicates that they intend GPLv3-only as their
license, per GPLv3§14 and other relevant sections of GPLv3.

=========================
Contributing to RhodeCode
=========================

If you would like to contribute to RhodeCode, please contact me, any help is
greatly appreciated!

Could I request that you make your source contributions by first forking the
RhodeCode repository on bitbucket_
https://bitbucket.org/marcinkuzminski/rhodecode and then make your changes to
your forked repository. Please post all fixes into **dev** bookmark since your
change might be already fixed there and i try to merge all fixes from dev into
stable, and not the other way. Finally, when you are finished with your changes,
please send me a pull request.

To run RhodeCode in a development version you always need to install the latest
required libs. Simply clone rhodecode and switch to beta branch::

    hg clone -u dev https://secure.rhodecode.org/rhodecode

after downloading/pulling RhodeCode make sure you run::

    python setup.py develop

command to install/verify all required packages, and prepare development
enviroment.

There are two files in the directory production.ini and developement.ini copy
the `development.ini` file as rc.ini (which is excluded from version controll)
and put all your changes like db connection or server port in there.

After finishing your changes make sure all tests passes ok. You can run
the testsuite running ``nosetest`` from the project root, or if you use tox
run tox for python2.5-2.7 with multiple database test. When using `nosetests`
test.ini file is used and by default it uses sqlite for tests, edit this file
to change your testing enviroment.


There's a special set of tests for push/pull operations, you can runn them using::

    paster serve test.ini --pid-file=test.pid --daemon
    RC_WHOOSH_TEST_DISABLE=1 RC_NO_TMP_PATH=1 nosetests -x rhodecode/tests/other/test_vcs_operations.py
    kill -9 $(cat test.pid)
